gulp-translate-updater v0.1.0

Synopsis

A Gulp task that updates translations in .js files by merging new keys and updating old ones from *.json files.

Installation

npm install gulp-translate-updater

Motivation

Let's suppose you have your app localizations in yourproject/translations/<country_code>.js files. Each file looks like this:

var translations_en = {
    "KEY1": "localization1",
    "KEY2": "localization2"
}

Then you have updated tranlations in .json files containing:+

{
    "translations_en": {
        "KEY1": "localization1-updated",
        "KEY3": "localization3-new"
    }
}

and you want to update you .js files without doing it manually. This package provides a Gulp task that does it automatically. Your xx.js files be updated like this:

var translations_en = {
    "KEY1": "localization1-updated",
    "KEY2": "localization2",
    "KEY3": "localization3-new"
}

Code Example

Place your new <country_code>.json translations in yourproject/translations_new/ Add the following line to your gulpfile.js (or create one in your project root):

var transupdate = require('gulp-translate-updater');

Then run:

gulp transupdate

Your translations/*.js files will be updated and old ones will be stored in yourproject/translations_old/ as a backup. Note that only one backup is saved, so every time you run "gulp transupdate" the old backup will be overwritten.

If you add new strings in your main translations/xx.js file and you want to know which ones are missing in your other localization files, so to have them translated, just run:

gulp transcompare --master=<country_code>

E.g.:

gulp transcompare --master=en

where "en.js" is your main localization file. The task will generate inside of yourproject/translations_diff/ .json and .csv files containing all the string that are in your main xx.js file, but are missing in your other translations files.
